My mother said I was a clingy kid until I was about four. I also remember that from the age of eight she and I fought almost every day.
I loved fairy tales when I was a kid. Grimm. The grimmer the better. I loved gruesome gothic tales and, in that respect, I liked Bible stories, because to me they were very gothic.
I read a book a day when I was a kid. My family was not literary; we did not have any books in the house.
